new plants

We now have a nice collection of local indigenous plants ready to go into the ground after our trip to VINC and SKINC (St Kilda Indigenous Nursery Coop) yesterday.

Marijka had listed what we wanted for our revegetation area, and despite not being able to get any grasses, we managed to pick up about 75 small plants that will need to be planted over the next couple of weeks.... so get your gardening gloves on.

Here is a photo of one of the plants we picked up -the Hardenbergia violacea (Purple Coral Pea)- like the one currently flowering next to the front gate.

WORKING BEES

Our Working Bees are usually held on the FIRST SUNDAY of the month, from 1.00pm onwards. Sometimes this changes to fit in around Mothers/Fathers day etc. but the date for the next working bee will be put up on our notice board at the gardens.

We encourage anyone interested in the gardens to attend, as well as all our regular members and we generally bring a plate of food to share as well.
